So much dank tele history…the bros are going to love this. Did you know the first dude to drop the knee was Norwegian ski legend, Sondre Norheim, in 1825? He also was the first person to introduce sidecut to skis. Tele skiing went into hibernation at some point but reemerged in the 80’s, in you guessed it….Telemark, Norway. Watch the whole thing and make sure to share around with your fellow free heelers.

WIKI FACT: Telemark is a county in Norway, bordering Vestfold, Buskerud, Hordaland, Rogaland and Aust-Agder. The county administration is in Skien. Until 1919 the county was known as Bratsberg amt.
